Too much chlorine in the mains water supply
Sometimes certain networks supply water containing chlorine at above normal levels. In this event it is not unusual to be faced with problems of
corrosion, pay particular attention to bain-marie, water baths, and equipment left to soak overnight etc.
Cleaning aluminium or aluminium coated items
The presence of aluminium or items that are aluminium coated in a chlorine solution is a particularly powerful catalyst for damaging stainless steel.
Do not leave fittings such as hood filters, aluminium trays or dishes soaking in tanks, tanks, pots, fryers etc. Just one night is sufficient to etch
stainless steel at the point of contact with aluminium.
WARNING: Regular and thorough cleaning will ensure prolonged service life
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CLEANING CHEMICALS BE USED ON SURFACES THAT ARE OVER 140°F.
The result will be serious discolouration and damage to the surfaces.
Jet washers and hoses, high or low pressure should never be used for cleaning.
The warranty will not cover resulting damage if the following guidance is ignored.
The appliance must be isolated electrically during cleaning or maintenance and when replacing parts.
Cleaning operations (except the inside of the tank) must be undertaken with the tank lowered (horizontal). This protects the heating
elements and active parts from splashing.
15.1
CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
It is necessary to keep the metal surface perfectly clean by removing all dust, metallic particles and deposits of any nature that could damage
the protective sheet as mentioned above.
To achieve this, it is sufficient to wash these surfaces with water and soap or any neutral, non-abrasive detergent product. RINSE
CAREFULLY and wipe the surfaces dry. Never scrub stainless steel with wire, if necessary, use a non-stick scourer or similar and scrub in the same
direction as the stainless steels polished finish.
15.2
MAINTENANCE OF INTERNAL SURFACES (TANK)
The general principle consists in not letting the following settle in certain places:
- Substances likely to become concentrated and so become corrosive.
- Settling of different minerals contained in water and likely to generate corrosion (walls) performance and life-duration (fan balancing,
exchanger dissipation, ...) problems.
15.3
CLEANING THE LID GASKET
In order to remove traces of grease or food scraps that can damage the gasket, regular and manual cleaning of the lid gasket should be
performed on the inner and outer faces.
Before cleaning, use water with soap or neutral and non-abrasive detergent with a sponge or a soft cloth to remove the grease from the lid
gasket.
15.4
MATERIAL USED FOR COOKING CORROSIVE PRODUCTS
The materials used intensively and regularly for cooking corrosive products, such as sea fish, sauerkraut, ..., should be cleaned carefully and
systematically after each use.
